About this listen
A gripping tale of espionage and murder in Elizabethan London.
London, 1590. Queen Elizabeth I's control over her kingdom is wavering. Amidst a tumultuous backdrop of Spanish plotters, Catholic heretics and foreign wars threatening the country's fragile stability, the body of a small boy is found in the City of London, with strange marks that no one can explain.
When idealistic physician Nicholas Shelby finds another body displaying the same marks only days later, he becomes convinced that a killer is at work, preying on the weak and destitute of London.
Determined to find out who is behind these terrible murders, Nicholas is joined in his investigations by Bianca, a mysterious tavern keeper. As more bodies are discovered, the pair find themselves caught in the middle of a sinister plot. With the killer still at large, and Bianca in terrible danger, Nicholas's choice seems impossible - to save Bianca, or save himself....

Enjoyable & Well Read
I'd recommend this audio book for all Shardlake fans. Easy listening - although a bit confusing as chapters flit from one scenario to another within themselves - and story itself is thoroughly creditable. Would have been 5 stars but for confusing scenarios.

Entertaining
A satisfying and entertaining book with a sound historical base. The narrator has quite a light voice but it was well up to the task.

Really enjoyable.
I wasn’t sure this story would grab my attention - but it really did!
I’m now diving into book 2.
It is a great descriptive Elizabethen thriller ...

Not a page Turner
Clearly others loved it judging by their reviews but I found the story took far too long to unfold with little joy and no peaks of interest until near the end. The reading was similarly dull.
But I stayed with it to the end.

The Angels Mark
Eyesight in the reasons for murder but, a nice interesting story with no sex (thankfully) Era vividly described creating a friendship and warmth towards the reader.

Very like Shardlake stories. Excellent
Really enjoyable story and an insight in to Elizabeth England while listening to a crime thriller tale as well as finding out about Nonsuch Palace having visited Nonsuch Park as it is now. Would definitely listen to more stories of the budding pathologist/doctor/surgeon/apothecary. Excellently read too. Lord Cecil’s voice stood out and came across as very menacing and calculating. You really would not have wanted to be on the wrong side of his scheming!
